Sooooo… the goal was to fetch a relic and get back here? Ok. Asa could deal with that. Destroying anything in the way? Awesome. Meeting your partner by them being the first person you make eye contact with? Weird, just weird. But Ok, whatever. Asa’s ears and tail were twitching in anticipation. _Better start crying,_ he thought setting Tears of Blood to it’s claw form, then laughing quietly at the joke, he was flung off the cliff. Sailing through the air, giddy with the flight, Asa angled himself so as to catch a tree at the best possible angle. A huge trunk loomed up on his right and, flinging his arm out Asa caught the tree with his claw, pulling his legs in and pushing off at another tree, streamlining his tail and flattening his ears. Asa would keep bouncing from tree to tree as long as possible, leaving him little time on the ground, where he was more likely to encounter Grimm. Better to spot them from up here and attack from above, than be the one getting ambushed. Of course this tactic wouldn’t last forever, but it would get him where he was going, if he didn’t run into any distractions that is. And the thing about partners? Well, he’d probably find one.
